Speaking of the 80's, It funny in Japan right now there seems to be a fad of madonna-esque apparel running about. pastel colors, over waist belts and elbow length gloves are all the rage. I wish I had pictures handy.

Maybe violent though. (All the people I said the collar thing to were smaller than me. Yeah that's right, I pick on kids smaller than me. Makes me feel like a big man)

Heh. Watch out for the small ones.

Last blokes from Perth I met were chicken catchers who also taught kickboxing. They were astounded that noone in Melbourne would talk to them. Of course, they were in Prahran, but...

Oh, and by the way, my dimwitted image of Perth is based entirely on hearsay and my idiotic perception that anything other than the East coast is like a big country town (I mean, even Brisbane's like that). Stupid, I know.
